Jeffrey MacIntyre’s Summary

Here's a precis of my hybrid career.

I'm a freelance journalist specializing in culture, science and technology reporting, with a focus on "ideas" journalism. My writing appears online and in print for publications such as The New York Times, Wired, Slate, Elle, NY Observer, Boston Globe and San Francisco Chronicle. I have related experience in television and radio, and I'm regularly interviewed. I was a producer at an award-winning multi-platform (TV/web) show considered a precursor of YouTube and model for Al Gore's Current TV.

I'm also an active consultant and subject matter expert in the fields of interactive content strategy, communications, project and change management with seven years' experience across numerous client engagements. I specialize in working with media properties, developing strategic editorial objectives for their interactive platforms and training their editorial departments. I am a member of the Avenue A | Razorfish media and entertainment practice.

I reside in New York City with my fetching wife.
